Your story sounds so wonderful. I cannot wait to read it! :*) That 3 part structure is very important. I am taking a look at mine every day I edit. I miss you on my blog. Haven't seen you in a while... :*)

It was sunny and in the sixties all weekend here in the Bay Area. :) Thanks for the links. The three stages remind me of the way books used to be written. Unfortunately, a hundred pages of back story would probably garner the famous three word query response of 'Not for us'. I'm glad your work is flowing well.

Ric, thank you. Sounds like our weather is similar.Nothing displays character like disaster, and since this is the first book, the primary situation, I though Id dunk her in head first.

Hee, Raine!Of course. Lillie's the monogamous type.I haven't decided yet how much hawter things will get, but it's set up so it can get very hawt.And I just avoided one of those trees.Almost had Johnnie do something really, materially, stupid. Lillie would have no use for someone stupid.BTW, December has up a great post on the hero that confirms my instinct about brains and such.

I can't wait to hear more about Lillie's adventures. Sorry she is sick and tired of all the troubles you are flinging her way, but she knows it just makes her stronger! ;o)And congrats on making 50,000! I am so excited to hear how you are coming on to the end! You know how badly I want to read it!
